Let Income Tax Increase Expire

In a lame duck session in 2011, the Democrat-controlled legislature imposed a 67% income tax increase on every working person in the state of Illinois. They promised it was temporary and set it to rollback on January 1, 2015. Now they want to make that tax increase permanent.

We don't think it's right. If you agree, please add your name to the petition below and take the added step of sharing it with your friends.

NO more taxes of any kind. Learn to live within your budget, that is what responsible adults do.

The more money Quinn gets he thinks he has to spend it… instead of paying off the OUTRAGEOUS debt Illinois now has. Illinois is an embarrasement! It’s time to tighten the drawstring and put things into perspective! My motto has always been, if you don’t have the money, you don’t buy it/spend it! I know, I know… Quinn and Chicago have never heard of any such thing and would probably laugh in my face! Better yet… why don’t we just oust Chicago! Make them their own state!!! Maybe then the rest of the state could possibly live better lives!!! But for now… let the income tax increase expire!!!

The more we give the more they want to spend. It is a never ending pipeline that has to be stopped.

Trim government and its inherent fat. I’m with you Rep. Kay. In all levels of government, the Dems don’t get it. Excuse me, they are getting my tax dollars; which is the only thing they want.

To extend these taxes only invites more mismanagement and fiscal problems. Their word should mean something, obviously it doesn’t! Not only is this not right, but it is unethical.

It’s way past time to lower corporate and individual taxes, attract business by creating a profit friendly climate, AND balance the checkbook just like we all do!!

The tax increase was passed to eliminate the financial problems the legislature caused due to inaction for decades. Even with the extra income tax revenues our problems continue. Spending cuts needs to be taken instead of giving the legislature more taxpayer money to waste.
